Romance minority languages and linguistic theory

Special Issue Isogloss Journal Submission Deadline Extension!
Submissions are due March 31

Rationale:
Much of the research on minority and understudied languages focuses on
language
policy and politics (maintenance, endangerment, and revitalization).
However,
recently, a spotlight has been placed on the special theoretical
import of these
languages, and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the
language faculty
and the linguistic landscape.
In recent decades, and especially recently, researchers are
appreciating just how many
understudied languages exist, this includes many endangered and/or
minoritized bona
fide varieties/languages (or clusters of thereof): Lombard, Sicilian,
Rheto-Romance
Judeo-Roman, Arpitan, Occitan, Istro-Romanian, but also creoles or
creolized
languages, and colonial languages: Michif, Papiamentu, Palenquero,
Louisiana Cajun
French and linguistic codes that are so minoritized, they are barely
considered
‘varieties’ at all: pidgins, mixed and interlanguages (Llanito,
Portuñol, Chavacano),
and often acategorical and idiosyncratic (but still linguistically
revealing) speech of
heritage speakers.
A great many of these minority languages are Romance in origin and
since there has
been active, intensive and systematic research on the major Romance
varieties for
over a hundred years, this provides a backdrop from which to ask
highly specific,
micro-dialectal, micro-parametric, formal questions that are relevant
to linguistic
theory.
This special issue will create a space to further champion the
theoretical relevance of
the morpho-syntax, morphology and phonology of minority and
minoritized linguistic
languages of Romance origin, which are understudied, both inside and
outside of
Europe.

Submission Criteria
The editors will check the suitability of the submissions and send
selected papers
for peer-review. The criteria for selection is: (a)
minority/lesser-known status of the
language in question and (b) the contribution to linguistic theory,
especially
phonology and morphology.
Isogloss is a journal of theoretical and experimental linguistics,
with the Romance
varieties as object of investigation.
Submissions are accepted for articles on any linguistic phenomenon in
any Minority
Romance variety. No specific theoretical approaches are given any
preference.
Submissions are encouraged, which provide insight on the core domains
of
linguistic theory, particularly through the morphology and phonology,
both
synchronic and diachronic.
Preference will be given to papers that explicitly discuss how their
documentation/data of minoritized languages upsets and rewrites the
field’s
theoretical assumptions.

Submissions are accepted in English only. Isogloss adopts a
double-blind peerreviewing
procedure.
